Elon Musk’s Starlink, a satellite internet venture, has received final approval from the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe). The company can now move ahead with its commercial operations in the country.
India will now have access to affordable, high-speed broadband services even in remote rural areas, where there was inadequate internet service due to limited access to infrastructure. Starlink is now entirely authorized to start its operations once the local setups are complete.
The Department of Telecommunications (DoT), however, is expected to allow trial spectrum access to Starlink very soon. This will enable Starlink to establish security compliance and initiate the technical processes. The company has also signed its first commercial agreements with VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) providers.
